1 Pashhur was a leader at God’s house. He heard Jeremiah speak God’s words. ️️ 2 Pashhur hit Jeremiah and tied him in wood and chains by the gate at God’s house. ⛓️️ 3 Next day Pashhur let Jeremiah go. Jeremiah said, God gives you a new name: “Scary All Around.” ️⚠️ 4 Jeremiah said, God says: You will be scared. Your friends will fall in war. You will see it. Judah will go to the king of Babylon. He will take them away. ⚔️➡️️ 5 God says: The city things and gold will be taken by bad men. They will take it to Babylon. ️➡️➡️️ 6 Jeremiah said to Pashhur: You and your house will be taken away. You will die there in Babylon. Your friends too. You told wrong words. ♂️➡️️⚰️ 7 Jeremiah said: God, I feel tricked. You are strong. You won. Now people laugh at me. ➡️ 8 When I speak, I cry, “Bad things will come!” So people make fun of me all day. ️⚠️➡️️ 9 If I say, “I will not talk of God,” God’s word is like a fire in me. I get tired of holding it in. I must speak. ❤️️ 10 I hear people whisper, “Scary all around!” They say, “Tell on him!” Even my friends watch me to fall. They hope I get hurt. ️ 11 But God is with me like a strong fighter. The ones who hurt me will fall. They will not win. God sees them. ️⚔️⬇️❌ 12 God, You see hearts. You test who is good. Please pay them back. I give this to You. ️❤️ 13 Sing to God! Praise God! He saves poor people from bad people. 14 I wish the day I was born was not a day. 15 I wish the man who told my dad, “You have a son!” did not do it. ♂️️➡️ 16 I wish that man had only bad days, with cries in the morning and at noon. 17 He did not stop me in my mom. I wish I stayed in my mom and not be born. 18 Why was I born to see hard and sad days? My life feels hard and sad. ❓️
